Jay Butler Candidate Statement 2020

As a current senator and member of the Senate Executive Committee, I have consistently and unabashedly demanded for equal representation of classified employees on everything from high level search committees to diversity issues. We demand to no longer be excluded, nor disregarded. Our voices should be heard, not ignored. Our viewpoints and contributions are valid and we need to be part of UO’s “Inclusion” policy. I take this extremely seriously.

In Solidarity, Jay Butler
